Bato - Illegal Drugs Supply Reduced Almost 100%

Philippine National Police Chief Director General Ronald
dela Rosa said that the illegal drugs in the country has already been reduced
by 80-90 percent.

”The good news is that we have significantly reduced the
supply of illegal drugs in the country by some 80-90 percent.

“We are posting tremendous grains and slowly but surely
winning the streets from the illegal drud menace while removing the fear of
crime and violence in the hearts of our countrymen,” he added.

“If anyone is more afraid these days, these are the people
who are involved in the illegal drug trade that their days are numbered because
they may be arrested and jailed anytime,” he said.

Dela Rosa urges his men to build on the gains and maintain
the war against illegal drug saying President Duterte is watching on them.

He said 1,105 drug suspects have been killed since Duterte
Administration started its war against illegal drugs on July 1, 2016. He also
added that 16,891 have been arrested of which 10,635 were pushers and 6,256
were users. He added that 712,848 have also surrendered.

Chief Dela Rosa reminded his men that gun proficiency does
not mean that they should be shooting bad guys dead.

“Your duty is to catch them and put them behinds bars to
face the full force of the law. And your duty is, of course, to stay alive and catch
more criminals,” he said.

“With the President’s call for change in the country…we will
set our sights on eradicating illegal gambling in the country. While this is
already a part of police operations, we will be giving more life and energy to
this operation the same way we did with our campaign against illegal drugs,” he
said.

Chief Bato said that after they are done against illegal
drugs, they will be waging was against illegal gambling.
